We have periodic issues here in the Bay Area. I don't know if I could stand and face a mountain lion, but you never know what your body will do in that situation. Good to have the advice.

The worst I have to contend with is not hitting a Kangaroo when I go to visit my sister. And let me tell you, in a contest between a car and a kanga, the car usually comes off second best.

We have bears and moose around here, maybe some linx but I have never seen one. I find that I also seem to have an internal sense of when not to go out. My dog dug up some ground wasps last summer and they chased all the way home. So far that has been the extent of my adventures but my husband got chased out by a mother bear after the dog treed her cubs (and then ran faster than my husband) My MIL gave me a whistle which could be a good idea. I hope I never have to try it! I totally agree about the PMS, some days, I'd probably put them on the run :0) I live in Ontario, Canada and walk in our bush regularly.

That's got to be the scariest thing about hiking, I think. Most anything else you can survive, but a pissed off (and possibly hungry) large wild cat? Too scary. You left some great tips - I always, always, always have a hiking partner nowadays! It's entirely stupid not to. Yikes. That’s got to be the scariest thing about hiking, I think.
